Usually
when selecting posts from the Facebook Archives I go for the earliest year (one
likes to be systematic). Today only
threw up two unused and of interest.
2016’s is shorter.
But it’s a
Sunday so we should all have time for this.
From Facebook Archives ...

Another
one nicked from Hagrid, but somehow reminds me of Drummerman
Drummerman Ah! The
famous Welsh composer...
KingsCameraman Doesn't work if you can pronounce German names correctly!
McChurch Nope. Means nothing to me.
Bentonbag Oh Vienna!
Drummerman I nearly said that, but thought it might be a bit obscure
(Not that that normally stops me...).
Mrs
Leftfoot Um I still don't get it.
Bentonbag Ultravox
Drummerman Ultravox
Bentonbag Two minds with but a single thought!
Or as my mother used to say "Wise men
agree and fools seldom differ."
Drummerman That’s one way of putting it...
Mrs
Leftfoot Nope..still not getting it. I might be a LOST CAUSE.
Mrs
Leftfoot I know the song and who sang it but I don't understand the joke
Drummerman “This all means nothing to me”
Bentonbag Have a listen
McChurch YES BUT WHAT DOES THE POST MEAN? WHAT`S THE BLOODY JOKE?
AND WHAT`S IT GOT TO DO WITH BLOODY ULTRAVOX? (this is me shouting at the
screen)
Bentonbag What is Arnie's most famous line in a film?
Sing the chorus of the Ultravox song ...
And breathe ...
Mrs
Leftfoot Well I still don't get it either.
Bentonbag Which? Arnie or Oh Vienna?
Mind you neither are worth the effort so don't blame me
(or Drummerman) if you're
disappointed when you do get it/them.
McChurch He says "I`ll be back" right? What`s that got
to do with Mozart and Beethoven? Have I stumbled upon a madhouse?
Oh fuckity fuckity fucksie fudd
. I`ve written it and now I see it. It`s Haydn ! Of course it is! Where do you get Haydn out of the chorus of "Oh
Vienna"? What has Ultravox got to do with Mozart and Beethoven? Or music
in general, really.
Bentonbag "This means nothing to me - OH VIENNA!"
He said it with a long A and a soft K "I'll be
baak".
I need a lie down.
Mrs
Leftfoot So let me get this right. He says "I'll be Bach". Ultravox
singing "Vienna" is just a red herring.
Bentonbag Correct. Then McChurch said
"Nope. Means nothing to me" to which I replied "Oh Vienna"
as per the Ultravox song.
Do you ever wish you'd never started something? Don't
answer that.
I'm going downstairs now to watch Wycliffe and knit
and/or iron, I may be some time.
Drummerman Bloody Magnus Magnusson...
Bentonbag No that was Captain Oates.
And if you're thinking of replying "Not Scotch
Porridge or Quaker?" just don't. Please.
Thank you.
Drummerman That’s that dead. You’re
a cereal killer. Back to the Wycliffe...
Mrs
Leftfoot It gets worse. I have been watching Midsomer Murders and got confused!
Drummerman Yes, it can be difficult guessing who will survive...
Mrs
Leftfoot ha ha ha. It is not so complicated as wondering why Arnie would
have said "Vienna". Talk about
being led up the garden path. Mind, it's
kept me amused all day. I keep thinking
about it and giggling.
Bentonbag Gloria Gaynor will.
McChurch No no. Arnie said he`d be Haydn, because when Haydn left
Vienna for London, he said "I`ll be back" (In a German accent -this
is key) and he was, and he finished some of his most popular concertii back in
Vienna. See? I`m still not sure what it`s got to do with
Ultravox though. Let’s all ask Ben. Again. (She`s dead clever).
Mrs
Leftfoot Oh of course. Silly
me, you've made it so much clearer.
I think we best not mention it to Ben for a while though
.
Burney I'll be Bach
McChurch Order of the Blue Pipe?
